Friends FULL of Giving

Community members are invited to celebrate the spirit of the season with Friends FULL of Giving, an unforgettable evening of food, connection and purpose on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 5 p.m. This year's event will be graciously hosted by Shannon and Dan Connors at their home in the beautiful Sanderling Club. Friends FULL of Giving offers a delicious, modern take on a Thanksgiving meal catered by Jeremy Hammond-Chambers, set against the stunning backdrop of Siesta Key’s shoreline. This special event supports the ThankFULL campaign, helping to ensure families across our community can experience the comfort and dignity of a delicious holiday meal. In 2025, the ThankFULL campaign helped All Faiths Food Bank to distribute 14,500 turkey dinners in November and 4.1 million holiday meals in December. The 2026 Friends FULL of Giving chairs are Dawn Doughty and Lisa Napolitano. For questions or sponsorship information, please contact Jeremy Lisitza at jeremyl@allfaithsfoodbank.org or 941-549-8142.
